VIDEO: 100+ dogs at Richmond V.A. lab are “SET TO DIE”

A new analysis of documents obtained by White Coat Waste Project detailing painful taxpayer-funded dog experiments at the McGuire Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) has concluded that “mostly all of the canines involved in the project are set to die.”

Richmond ABC affiliate WRIC reports, “We found four projects, using 118 dogs, some as young as six months old. Most of the dogs are euthanized, and in some cases, their hearts were harvested.”

A veterinarian who was asked to provide an expert opinion on the approved applications for McGuire VAMC’s painful dog experiments told WRIC:

Our tax dollars are being spent on studies that are potentially inhumane and not necessary

…

Unfortunately, the nature of the experiments is that they are designed to lead to suffering for these dogs….Absolutely there is suffering involved

Watch the full segment below:

More than 300,000 people have written to Congress in support of WCW’s campaign to cut taxpayer funding for wasteful and deadly dog experiments. If you haven’t yet, email your congress members now.

STOP the misery and suffering! These types of “experiments” are grossly outdated and unnecessary. Modern computer models have replaced these and are superior in what they can help us learn. Please use any and all compassion that you possess and stop this madness now. Thank you.

There are modern techniques for testing : computer based modeling, organ on a chip, micro tissue testing. Let’s make marvelous modern medicine MODERN…not using antiquated animal testing. Eliminate it from the algorithm completely.

Disgusting, cruel, horrible UN Godly. My God what on earth are you doing and why?? Are you willing to swap places with the dogs?? If not, then you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing to them.

They feel pain, they feel sadness, they feel love. Don’t do this to them. It’s cruel. It’s barbaric, it’s inhumane. You are taking their life away from them. They did not ask to be your guinea pigs. You should be ashamed of yourself. I can only pray that this comes to an immediate halt. No more dogs harmed or any other animals. No animals euthanized. Let these dogs live let them find loving homes. Your playing Good and that’s going to come down hard on you.

Unbelievable in the year 2017 that animal testing is still legal. It has been proven that it is not an effective method of testing. More importantly it is unconscionable that our society condones and accepts the breeding of animals solely to torture then kill.

These poor creatures deserve to be happy and free. Please stop the abuse. This isn’t fair. They feel just like us. Put yourselves in that situation. It doesn’t make a difference wether you are human or animal. Both feel the same, except the animals have no voice to defend themselves

Please stop the animal testing at once!!!
I thought that we (United States) are better than China, South Korea and other countries that are killing and torturing dogs for meat consumption!! PLEASE STOP THE ANIMAL TESTING!!STOP THE CRUELTY ASAP!!! DO NOT USE OUR MONEY TO KILL INNOCENT, DEFENSELESS ANIMALS!! The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way animals are treated!! WHERE IS OUR GREATNESS AND OUR MORAL PROGRESS!!!!

Stop!!!
Horrible!!
So sad that u need to take there lives,
They do love, there loyal , trustworthy,
I pray that God intervenes , and open
Your hearts, and to look in there eyes
And ask yourself if this is what right??
Knowing that is so very wrong, to kill
Destroy, something that only wants to
Be loved ..
Please look at them and ask urself to
Get the answer they deserve…
Amen !!!

It takes sick minded people to abuse a living creature. I don’t give a damn if they do research or what. There is no excuse for suffering and flat out murder. Wasting tax dollars to murder! Needs to stop immediately!

Something is wrong with our society….. this needs to be stopped immediately!! I am beginning to lose all faith in humanity & most definitely our “leaders”!! We need HARSH laws for the abusers of any of these & from now on I will only place my votes for the ones I believe will enforce this! Enough is ENOUGH!!
